Movie Review
Snakes on a Plane
By
R.D. Swartz
I have a new nightmare and it is not being trapped on a plane full of computer generated snakes attacking the passengers, but having to ever see this movie anywhere anytime again. It is absolutely an awful movie in every way; just like a poisonous snake avoid this movie at all costs.
I am a huge Samuel Jackson fan but not he or any other superstar actor could make this plot fly.
He did his best and he jumped over the seats and zapped the computer generated bad guy snakes with a stun gun and tried to be the hero, but the plot was unstoppable and drove this film to a crash landing.
Sorry to say nothing to report on the plus side on this flick. There were a few one liner jokes. Some vicious snake bites in sensitive areas, and some random flirting among the passengers. But no shortage of computer generated snakes winding all around and biting people some live some die then luckily the movie ends.
Samuel Jackson tries his best to play Neville Flynn a dedicated FBI agent protecting a key witness Sean Jones played by Nathan Philips as they fly first class from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify against a ruthless mob boss. The Mob boss sends an assassination box full of 450 snakes onto the plane to kill everyone and bring the plane down so no one will testify against him.
With snakes coming out of everywhere and biting at everybody our hero Samuel Jackson uses his wits and skills to stop the reptile invasion best he can to save the day and as many lives as he can. This movie falls into the category of a story that did not need to be told.
